TAKE PRISONERS AND GUNS Japanese Driven From Heights, Sev eral Companies Annihilated and Supplies Destroyed People of Sakhalin Starve. ST. PETERSBURG, May 2C. News of a successful cavalry raid by Lleutenant General .Mlstchenko comes In the follow ing dispatch from Lieutenant-General Linievitch to the Emperor, dated May 23: "A cavalry detachment commanded by Ueutenant-General MIstchenko, composed of a portion of the South Caucasian brig ado and Trans-Baikal Cossacks, while en gaged May 17 In repulsing the enemy to the southward, approached Slnlountou chan. On May IS the squadrons of the -anguard succeeded In reaching the Fa koman road, where they burned a stores depot and destroyed the telegraph for a considerable distance. Large bands of Chinese bandits encountered by the de tachment -were partly annihilated and partly dispersed. "On May 19 the main body arrived at the Pakoman-Shlfudzy road and found the heights south of Fakoman occupied by a large Japanese force, consisting of guards and Infantry with machine guns. The Russians attacked and annihilated two Japanese companies and captured an other company, with all of its officers and ten machine guns. "The Russians seized a road on the right bank of the Liao River and dis persed near Shifudzy a. transport train seven versts (4 2-5 miles) long, with rice, tinned food and fruit, destroyed the tele graph line and took several prisoners and 100 horses. "On the return journey the Russians dispersed several bands of Chinese ban dits. The prisoners taken number five officers and 234 men." GAKXOT STAND THE STI1AIN Delay 'of Xaral Battle Spreads Con sternation in Russia. CHICAGO. May 2C (Special.) The Dally News' correspondent, cabling from St. Petersburg sajys: Admiral Avellon's confirmation of the story that Admiral Rojestvensky is se riously 111 that his fleet Is on its way to Vladivostok and that there will be no battle before it reaches Its destina tion. Is possibly Intended to mislead the Japanese. At the same time it has caused consternation throughout Rus sia and an unprecedented slump In con sols, because It means an indefinite prolongation of war, anarchy and rev olution and final bankruptcy. M. Xokovtzeff. Finance Minister, has reported to the Czar that the treasury is in financial straits and that it now faces as a last resource the using of foreign demand bills. The sold reserve would be virtually mortgaged, but even then sufficient funds for the con duot of the war could not be furnished. The officers at the front have not been paid for several months. Kokovtzeft urges peace and the payment of an In demnity, which would be a small mat ter compared with the losses caused by the Interior crisis. It is said that Grand Duke Alexander carries to Berlin a statement of the utmost concessions the Czar will make to Japan. It Is believed that the gath ering of international dignitaries at the Crown Prince's wedding may be the preliminary to peace pourparlers IS STOESSEL A HERO OR NO? Port Arthur Editor Says No, Czar Says Yes. SPECIAL. CABLE. BERLIN. May 26. Germany's gen eral staff is pluming Itself on having acquired the innermost secrets of the military defense of Port Arthur. The information has been bought from Paul Lassmann. editor of the Novikrai, the emi-offlcial newspaper founded at Port Arthur by Admiral Alexleff. Lasbmann has arrived in Berlin to arrange for the publication of a book about the siege. He Is a pronounced enemy of Stoessel and the forthcoming book is intended primarily to explode that officer's claim to rank as a hero. Colonel Schebeko. Russian military attache at the Kaiser's court, has re turned from a visit to the Czar. His Majesty told Schebeko that he was convinced from evidence that Stoessel had produced that the General was not deserving of censure for having sur rendered the fortress and added that he had ordered the inquiry now pending and that it was not a courtmartlal, but was merely intended to pacify public sentiment. Far from condemning Stoessel, the Czar censures General Smirnoff, com mander of the garrison at Port Arthur, for refusing to join Stoessel in the capitulation negotiations. "When Japan releases Smirnoff, who Is now a pris oner, he will be court-martialed. STARVATION IN EAST SIBERIA Food Supply Exhausted, No "Work Doing, Wliolo Tribes Dying. ST. PETERSBURG, May 2$. The Rusaky Slovo of Moscow today prints a dispatch from Vladivostok which In dicates that the inhabitants of the whole maritime region of Eastern Si beria, Including the Island of Sakha lin and Kamchatka Peninsula, are fac ing starvation on account of tne situa tion produced by the war. Word has been brought to Vladivo stok Irora Okhotsk, Eastern Siberia, that the ash 6upply of Sakhalin was ex. haustetl last "Winter and that the In habitants ate their dogs. There la so flour OB he Island, and the people, are oaafrc-nted with starvation. A similar situation exists ' at TTamchatga, where the people are practically left' to their fate. No work is going on in the Amur district, beggars are roaming about everywhere, and the Orochana, a Si berian tribe, who live on the shores, of the Guff of Tartar, are dying of star vation. The dispatch concludes: "Should the war continue six months longer, starvation will be universal in all this remote region." GIVES "WARNING TO CHINA. Russia May Extend Zone of Hostili ties io Mongolia. ST. PETERSBURG, May 26. The Rus sian government for the third, time has warned China that, unless she can Bring Japan to make agreement denning the line of neutral zone north of Tie Pass, Russia will consider herself forced, to use Mongolian territory 'for military pur poses. M. Pokoteloff, the new Russian Minister to China, left St. Petersburg for Pekln today. MOVE TO PARTITION CHINA Consternation in Russian Capital About Move on Mongolia. LONDON, May 27. The Times' corre spondent at St. Petersburg says that Rus sia's decision to extend the area of hos tilities into Mongolia has evoked a senti ment akin to consternation among the diplomats there. It Is regarded, he says, as the first step toward annexation and the opening up of the question of the partition of China. ANYTHING TO RAISE MONEY Russia Sells Railroads and Jjcvlcs Forced Loans. ST. PETERSBURG, May 20. That the Russian Government's war chest Is undergoing extraordinary strain there is no doubt, but that it was in such serious condition as to cause the gov ernment to contemplate the selling of three of the most lucrative railway lines in the empire was hardly to be expected. But such is the report. It is said that the Ekaterlninska line, in the south, the most prosperous of all the three; the Kharkoff-Mnlkolalevsk line and the Kursk-Kharkoff-Sebasto-pol. line have been privately offered for sale, and a French-Belgian com pany has signified Its intention to pur chase them for 800,000,000 roubles. The average net takings on the three lines is 25,000,000 roubles. It is credibly affirmed that a spe cially appointed official has gone to Moscow in order to receive several hundred millions of roubles which wealthy members of the nonconformist sect have promised to subscribe for the expenses of the campaign, if the gov ernment relieves them of their civil disabilities. Extraordinary measures are being adopted to replenish the war chest. Thus, subscription lists are being circulated among the officials of the various departments, who are in formed that their names and the sums offered will be reported to His Majes ty. But the donations are given un willingly. For instance, a list which in Koborlak contained the names of eight officials who contributed alto gether 670,000 roubles four weeks ago has received no addition since then. JAPAN HAS PLENTY OF SINEW Financial Ability to Carry on "War Surprises World. TOKIO, May 26. Baron Komura, Minis ter of Foreign Affairs; Baron Sone, Minis ter of Finance, and Baron Shibusawa ad dressed the Clearing-Housa Association today. Baron Komura said that the financial capability of Japan had com pletely surprised the world. Ho was glad that Japan was showing a financial and productive ability as well as strength on the battlefield. The war. he said, would last long, and he trusted much In the commercial ability of the nation after the war was ended, when a greater prospect would open before the country. He ex pected, he said, further, that the com mercial interests would do their utmost to develop and extend commerce. He also expected the introduction of foreign capi tal, and he counseled his hearers to fa cilitate this introduction by inspiring for eign capitalists with confidence In the country. Baron Sone thanked the financial and commercial Interests for their great as sistance In financing the war. Baron Shibusawa said that the com merce and productive capacity of the na tion was growing despite the war. The bank clearings, he said, for 1504. exceeded f2.000.000.000. which amount was unprece dented. He expected, that the bank clear ings for 1905 would exceed 12,500.000.000. THEY PUZZLE THE RUSSIANS Japanese Tactics Attributed by Chin ese to Disaffection. GUNSHU PASS. Manchuria, May 26. The Japanese tactics are puzzling. They gave way at the slightest pres sure against their center on both the railroad and the Mandarin road. The Chinese ascribe the retirement to trouble among the reserves, some of whom they say arc almost in a state of revolt because the government has not kept Its promise to return them to Japan. The retirement of the Japanese cen ter is interpreted by some of the Rus sian officers as a postponement of Field Marshal Oyama's offensive because of the bad state of the roads, but this view is not shared by all the officers. In order to prevent wrangling over the Question of reward or censure arising from reports forwarded by the commander-in-chief through the army corps commanders. General Linievitch in an order of the day has directed that copies of the original reports of all encounters and Individual exploits be transmitted to his staff, as well as briefer reports through the ordinary channols. JUST AS THEY DID BEFORE Japanese Attempt to "Wreck Bridge and Cossacks Raid. ST. PETERSBURG. May 26. The 'daring attempt of the Japanese, May 23, to cut the railroad and blow up the bridge over a tributary of the Tung liao, 20 miles south of the Russian main line from Kwanchengtsu to Klr ln, which are now connected "by a field railroad, bears a striking resemblance to the blowing up of the bridge over the Kalnskair Blver. 160 miles north of Mukden, by Major Nariganuma, of the Japanese Army, just before Field Marshal Oyama undertook the advance against General Kuropatkln at Muk den. Another parallel of the raid of May 23, occurring while General Rennen kampff's cavalry recently was working around the Japanese left, south of Fakoman, just as Nanganuraa's exploit coincided with General Mlstchenko's raid on Niu Chwang in September last. According to reports, the raid of May 22 was launched from Mongolia. A Weaderfal Tsaic HOKSFORD'S ACID PHOSPHATE Cooling. rt-frestelBK and larlfforaUn?.

Tuttle Declares Government Rate-Making Impracticable. - Ingalls for Supervision. CINCINNATI,: May 25. The celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Cincinnati Commercial Club closed to night with a banquet, at which the speak ers discussed the- questions of the day. Secretary of "War Taft made the prin cipal speech on "Policy and Practice," saying: If the -Pinassa Canal were Inside the terri tory of the United State, of course all ma terial used on the canal would pay dutr or be bought In the United States, but, as the construction of the canal Is a number of days" Journey from the tariff wall of the United State. It presents exactly tho lime case as Is presented In the case of the Philippine Islands. Now, If Congrcts wants to pay more than France -was wllllnc to pay, then they are at liberty to do so, but In the absence of a rule we feel we must carry out the rule that applies. That law require that, prices and quality being the same, we must buy American goods. In the absence of a rule, we feel bound by our trust to build as cheaply as possible. "We submitted the ques tion to Congress on thie line, asking Con gress to lay down a rule. If there Is no rule, we must build as a business man would build. Now there Is no question of protection or free trade; It la merely a rule or duty under the law as it stand. If the rule or law is changed we must change. He spoke of tho work of the coramls ioners on the canal and praised highly the men who have been put at the head of the work. He then spoke of the rela tion of the Government to the railroads, saying: Defends Rate Bill. I cannot but think the discussion which Is now coinr on has had a much wider ecop than is necessary. The question Is the par age of certain legislation and the discussion Is properly narrowed by consideration of what that Irrigation Is. He explained the present status of the interstate commerce law. calling atten tion to Its reference to "unreasonable rates," and the position of the Inter state Commerce Commission on the mat ter. He Insisted that the measure pro posed was a very moderate measure, and that it was unfair to denounce It so severely as had been done. He believes the changes proposed by the Esch Townsend bill would result In good. Plea for Railroads Entered. President Lucius Tuttle, of the Boston & Maine Railway, spoke of "The Rela tion of the National Government to the Railways." He said In part: I have yet to meet the well-versed railroad official who believes It possible to select any S or any 20 men. no matter how able, honest or expert, to whom could be safely Intrusted the power to supervise or prescribe, clftier In whole or In part, the transportation ratrn of this great country without risk of imminent and widespread danger to every commercial Interest. I believe I voice almost without dissent rail road opinion in raying that it accepts the general principle that the Government's re lation to public transportation companies should be that of wise supervision to prevent. Insofar as Is practicable, every unjust prac tice, cither by thenrior against-them.-' I have reasonable faith that the agencies that have been mainly Instrumental in building up fo succei9fully and wonderfully the world's In tercourse cannot have o suddenly gone wrong In the performance of their most Important functions as to warrant th hasty application of drastic and untried remedies. Ingalls' Drastic Remedy. The closing speech, by Melville E. In galls, who recently retired from a long term as president of the Big Four Rail way, brought a new and striking sug gestion for added powers for the Inter state Commerce Commission. After re marking that. as. he had retired and was now a private citizen, he would talk railroad rates, he said: Tou should Investigate the railroads as you do the National banks; turn them Inside out. Give the Interstate Commerce Commissioners all the clerks they want and full authority to investigate the railroads, but don't give them power to fix rates. What the people want and will have Is equal and fair treat ment to all. DAAVYER AS DEFENDER OP DAW Parker Says He Should Resist All Abuses and Disorder. CHICAGO. May 26 Judge Alton B. Parker, of New York, addressed the Illinois State Bar Association at the Chicago Beach Hotel today on "The Lawyer In Public Affairs." Judge Park er was greeted by hearty applause Judge Parker's address dwelt upon tho scope of men who follow the law as a profession, and of their relations to the politics and public life of the country. He reviewed- at length tho prominent part taken by lawyers In the public discussions from the days of the 13 colonies to the present. In the course of his address he said: I would emphasize anew the thought that, as the lawyer finds himself the beneficiary and the heir of great privileges which yield commanding opportunities. It Is more in cumbent upon him than upon any other to recognize that theso privileges and powers impose obligations from which there can be no escape, as. indeed, there ought not to be, except by meeting and welcoming them In the completest sense possible. If at any time It shall become apparent that the sanc tity of the ballot Is either threatened or as sailed: if the administration of the law. whether civil or criminal, becomes either lax or careless; if the evils In any Indus trial movement manifest such power that hey threaten monopoly or put popular rights In peril; If the executive, the legislative, or the Judicial branches of our system shall, either by design or accident, tend to trench unduly or dangerously upon the rights of any of the others the one man who "should resent and resist the dangers thus threatened Is the American lawyer. The traditions of his profession, the execu tion of the high trust confided to him, the example set him by great leaders through many generations, all demand that he should exercise the greatest watchfulness and show the highest courage.

"No one is authorized to say that I will be a candidate for the Presidency," said the Secretary in answer to at question. "It is a subject which I do not care to discuss." STRIKERS AGAIN RIOTOUS (Continued From Page I.) hauled In wagons driven by nonunion teamsters. It was decided at the meeting to wlth daw all the financial and moral support that the building trades unions have been giving the teamsters thus far In the strike. This means a loss to the teamsters of $1000 a week which they have received from the building trades unions. ' A committee was appointed to convey to President Shea of the teamsters the action voted by the building trades. The new3 visibly affected him, and he replied: "I can't believe that this Is true. Tho building trades workmen are too loyal to unionism to take this position." Albert Young, the chief lieutenant of Mr.. Shea, assumed a defiant attitude He said- "The building trades will find that the teamsters can take care of their strike without the aid of the plumbers, the plas terers and the rest of them." Hopo of Peace Abandoned. Thore Is no movement at present look ing towards a settlement of the strike. Mayor Dunne today for the first time since the commencement of. the team sters' strike declared that he knew of no contemplated plans for peace. The Mayor talked as though he had abandoned hopes of a settlement. Alderman Dever, chair man of the City Council Peace Com mittee appointed a week ago. said to night that he had practically ceased work, as the committees could see no avenue In the controversy looking toward an adjustment of the differences be tween the teamsters and the employers Mayor "Will Xot Call for Troops. In the face of declarations by the em ployers that tho Police Department of the city Is absolutely Inadequate to af ford protection to property as a result of conditions brought about by the trlke's spread to tho lumber district. Mayor Dunne announced that there would be no necessity to call for troops this week.
